Customer Reviews Merrell Moab 2 Vent

Comfortable shoe but needed a little breaking in.

Let me start by saying that I wear these everywhere and with everything except my church dresses. I've worn out two pairs walking dogs on country roads in summer and city sidewalks in winter. Two years ago, we began spending our summers in the country. I took my first walk in tennis shoes and felt every rock. It was then that I bought my first pair of MOAB 2 in 6M. They were a bit snug but such an improvement over tennis shoes. Later, I learned that they came in wide, so I got 6W. While the extra room felt like heaven, the insoles weren't great. Powersoles fixed that problem but made the toebox a bit tight. Now that these are worn out, I'm going with 6.5W with Powersoles.

I purchased these shoes for morning walks. Took them out of the box, put them on and went for my walk. No break in time, they fit perfectly right from the first step. I have short wide feet and usually have problems with the toe box, not these shoes, my toes have plenty of wiggle room. They seem to have plenty of support in the right places, I'm not getting cramps in my legs and feet anymore. Thank you Merrell!

I tried on numerous hiking shoes and these were the ones I fell in love with. The fit is true to size and there was little to no break in time.

The Moab ventilators are truly incredible shoes. Extremely comfortable, supportive and lightweight; perfect for hitting the trails or wandering around a city! However, I bought the men's version of this shoe. The women's color options are alright, but I wish that more outdoor brands would make gear for women that came in neutral colors without the usual pink, purple, baby blue etc. Sure some people like those colors, but I mean, who's to say we don't want woodsy greens, grays, brown and orange, like what you find in men's options?

I needed a pair of hiking shoes that provided comfort and support. The MOAB 2 Ventilator does both perfectly! They are lightweight and fit right off the bat. No need to break them in. In fact, I did a 5 mile hike first time wearing them and felt no discomfort. I am very pleased with my purchase and will buy this brand again. Thank you for making such a comfortable and sturdy hiking shoe.

I've worn Merrell for years. I have a long narrow foot. I usually wear a 10.5 shoe so I go with 11. No breaking in can wear right out of the box. I use the shoe for hiking and walking. No problems.

I loved the Moab right out of the box, which is saying quite a lot, as I have many foot issues. This shoe addressed them all, and buying a half-size larger allowed me to insert the orthotics from my podiatrist plus wear two pairs of socks if desired to take up extra space, though am able to wear one and still feel comfortable. If there could be any 'con', it would be that I feel too hot in the Florida summer with these shoes, and would like to find something lighter for that time of the year, though I do wear them anyway. I love the larger toe box and arched insole, that I use over my orthotic, as per my podiatrist. They show no wear after climbing around the rocky hills on the Isle of Skye and the grip going up and down a steep incline is great...the soles look like new still, after a couple of years. I bought them because a friend had wonderful results after walking the Camino in Spain... hers seemed to have little wear, as well, after hundreds of miles. Next time I'll buy the waterproof ones, as these certainly are not, and in Scotland, that's very useful!

Recommend for walking outdoors.

Comfortable and supportive. I have never had a more comfortable hiking shoe.

My new Moabs are awesome for so many reasons - my wide feet and toe challenges find great comfort and quality construction in Moab for serious hikes and long days at work. There is no 'breaking-in' time needed....just lace up and go! These shoes are stylish with a nice neutral color and I look forward to wearing them 8+ hours/day! Thanks again for a wonderful product!

I am doing the Camino this summer and needed a shoe that would hold up, yet not be too hot. Although I haven't taken them on the trip yet, they've been very comfortable in training.

Purchased last fall and love the shoe. Need a good arch support and this shoes provides it. Toe box is nice and wide. Love it.

I have foot problems,but I can wear these shoes all day . I've tried a lot of shoes. These are the best. I'm wearing my second pair now.

I love this shoe and it is great I can get a Women's Wide. One of the best features is the wide toe box. It helps make the shoe fit comfortably with no toe squishing. Please do not change that feature.

I have the MOAB boots and love them so wanted something in a shoe. Got these and absolutely love them! They aren't as warm as my boots, which is exactly why I wanted them! I hope you make the MOAB line forever because they make my feet so happy!

After a disappointing experience with Siren sport (they were too wide and too big , also not padded enough) I took a chance on this because I love the Moab mid wate3rproof boots. These are comfortable with a light weight hiking sock. They fit very well and the cushioning is just right.

I use these shoes for work as I'm on my feet all day. These are more comfortable than sneakers.
